PUTIGNANO is a town of 28,000 inhabitants located in the south-east of Bari, famous for its Carnival, the oldest in Europe, which has been going on for 622 years. Its ancient village is elliptical in shape, protected over the centuries by mighty walls, to which the 3 main entrances, with the mighty walls and the circular bulls, which in part still surround the city, were raised by the bailiff Giambattista Carafa, in 1472, the year in which Porta Barsento was also opened, which connects to the Porta Grande or Maggiore along the road, called “la Chiancata”.
From 1088, Putignano was given as a gift to the government of the Benedictine monks by the Norman count Goffredo d'Altavilla. From 1317 until the early nineteenth century, the city was the domain of the Knights of Malta, called Gerosolomitani whose headquarters was near the Matrice church of San Pietro, the current Palazzo del Principe formerly known as the Palazzo del Balì. This, Piazza Plebiscito, is the political and economic heart of the city: the seat, the ancient seat of the city government, also faces here. The ancient walls and the old castle had been demolished in 1219 by Frederick II due to the disobedience of the Putignanesi, who proved too loyal to the pope for having denied Frederick II access to the city after returning from a hunting trip. Putignano is, and remained Catholic, rich in art and culture: this is demonstrated by the numerous churches and convents in the ancient city. The church and convent of the Carmelites, which houses 80 nuns, date back to the 16th century. The small church of the Madonna di Costantinopoli is intimate and welcoming, with the roof covered by the typical “chiancarelle”. Equally small and beautiful dating back to 1402 is the church of Santo Stefano, protector of Putignano, whose remains were later transferred to the church of Santa Maria la Greca, recognizable by the sumptuous Baroque facade and by the beautiful and urinal bell tower, certainly among the most beautiful of the city. Other churches and other convents contend for this primacy of beauty and amazement, such as the church of San Domenico, seventeenth-century and baroque. Not least the more sober Church of the Madonna del Carmine, with rustic ashlar, and which overlooks Corso Umberto I. Putignanesi people of hard workers have given prestige to the town always placing themselves at the top of the province of Bari for the quality of life, the wealth, entrepreneurship and productivity and in many sectors.
